You know the story. It’s the end of the month and the sales numbers are below the target. The sales team is pointing fingers at marketing because they aren’t bringing in enough qualified leads, and marketing is responding by saying sales is at fault because they don’t know how to follow up on a lead. Sound familiar? Today, many businesses lack synergy between the sales and marketing organizations due to a variety of reasons, including: • Success in the sales and marketing departments is measured differently • Sales and marketing have a different vision of the ideal target customer • Actionable customer insight sits in dozens of disconnected databases • There is a lack of a 360-degree view of customers and their buying preferences • Broken processes make it impossible to track what is working • The technology is too hard to use so that there is limited adoption The FOCUS Success criteria The GOAL The Solution: What do you need to get there? Business Profitability Full visibility into results/KPIs; Predictable pipeline and accurate forecast to allow for insight for adjustment Vision of the Customer Customer Profitability A joint definition of the ideal customer that looks at revenue and costs to serve over the lifetime of that relationship Relationship quality Long-term Needs-based & collaborative – as a result of capturing knowledge over time Process Collaborative & easy to use Joint planning, shared customer database, connect all users in a single customer lifecycle Technology Integrated CRM Holistic view of the customer; Best practice workflow is created and improved over time

similarly there is a difference between a customer and disengaged customer Is there value in disengagement? It is worth creating a strategy to engage this prospective customer

CEOs are different they have a vague idea about what real life is about Create characters to bring your audience to life
A significant minority of people admit to lacking self-confidence when it comes to joining a gym, and feel intimidated by the thought of using one. LivingWell’s unpretentiousness makes it better placed than any other club to capitalise on this and build a competitive advantage.
Service magazines do this well......exist to serve readers. Better homes, Mens Health, Wedding speech story
Who hear has a brand promise that they feel is worthy of sharing... Decide on the desired outcome of your communication I want customers who are disengaged with exercise to make an appointment to tour my club Link to the audience need To change the customer’s live; make them feel better and live longer Create a message concept in 10-25 words that meets the audience needs while achieving your objective Our clear, simple promise is Personalised fitness for life.

We have talked about how you create a focus or a frame for what you are trying to communicate but how do we fill the frame to bring the concept to life.
Health club operators we need to think more like retailers, as they do this really well, lighting, signage, physical layout, On average, 5 x as many people read the headline as read the body copy. Therefore unless your headline sells your product...you have wasted 90% of your money!!!
No brainer....we tell you make your content short and simple...and you do it..Move on. But for a variety of reasons brevity is a touch challenge and simplicity is a complex problem...Why? As human being is it in our nature to want to share absolutely everything we know....and it is actually easier to include the contents of the Kitchen sink rather than deciding on one point you want to make and sticking to it. If you are the subject matter expert this problem gets even worse...This particularly relevant in the fitness industry where our fitness experts are not known for their brevity or simplicity. Even help us when we start having to involve lawyers when putting together special promotions (lots of clauses and disclaimers) and no one can understand what the heck you are talking about. The worst cuplrit is ego.......go
I did have a fairly long list of what do to do.......because I have done most of them in my time...who says we learn from our mistakes... However one thing I would never do would be to give my business to someone else to sell. I know there are a number of ‘leisure marketing’ businesses out there offering seemingly amazing quick fix solutions but hopefully from today presentation you have got some simple, common sense advice will allow you to implement your own marketing plans.
